Launch and configure virtual servers with complete control over networking, storage, and security settings. Scale automatically based on demand. ## When to Use - Web application servers - Application backends and APIs - Batch processing and compute jobs - Development and testing environments - Containerized applications (ECS) - Kubernetes clusters (EKS) - Database servers - VPN and proxy servers ## Quick Start Minimal working example: ```bash # Create security group aws ec2 create-security-group \ --group-name web-server-sg \ --description "Web server security group" \ --vpc-id vpc-12345678 # Add ingress rules aws ec2 authorize-security-group-ingress \ --group-id sg-0123456789abcdef0 \ --protocol tcp \ --port 80 \ --cidr 0.0.0.0/0 aws ec2 authorize-security-group-ingress \ --group-id sg-0123456789abcdef0 \ --protocol tcp \ --port 443 \ --cidr 0.0.0.0/0 aws ec2 authorize-security-group-ingress \ --group-id sg-0123456789abcdef0 \ --protocol tcp \ --port 22 \ --cidr YOUR_IP/32 // ... (see reference guides for full implementation) ``` ## Reference Guides Detailed implementations in the `references/` directory: | Guide | Contents | |---|---| | [EC2 Instance Creation with AWS CLI](references/ec2-instance-creation-with-aws-cli.md) | EC2 Instance Creation with AWS CLI | | [User Data Script](references/user-data-script.md) | User Data Script | | [Terraform EC2 Configuration](references/terraform-ec2-configuration.md) | Terraform EC2 Configuration | ## Best Practices ### ✅ DO - Use security groups for network control - Attach IAM roles for AWS access - Enable CloudWatch monitoring - Use AMI for consistent deployments - Implement auto-scaling for variable load - Use EBS for persistent storage - Enable termination protection for production - Keep systems patched and updated ### ❌ DON'T - Use overly permissive security groups - Store credentials in user data - Ignore CloudWatch metrics - Use outdated AMIs - Create hardcoded configurations - Forget to monitor costs
